CBS is considering adding some Southern flavor to a very successful NCIS recipe.

The hit drama, which opens its 11th season on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET/PT), will feature a two-episode, planted spinoff set in New Orleans that could become a new series. The episodes will be shot in February and will be broadcast in the spring.

The two-parter will focus on the New Orleans NCIS office, which handles cases from Pensacola, Fla., through Mississippi and Louisiana and on to the Texas Panhandle. As a city famous for music, food and all manner of fun, New Orleans is a magnet for visitors, including military personnel on leave.
